To the OP,
I think galaxy flyer's answers are best (though I haven't been based in the US in a few years.) On another note, funny how some other posters were ridiculing you and it turns out that theirs were not the best answers. You'll find this a common theme throughout your career. Just keep asking questions and reading on your own to gain knowledge despite the detractors. Thanks for all the answers... |

Never flown into Mexico, but why is there no IAF labeled? In the U.S., could you even legally begin this approach without radar vectors?

In this case, the IAF begins when on established on final from the PT or GS intercept. |
Coffee Minutes
I don't think so. What you are describing is, in fact, the final segment. There are four approach segments--initial, intermediate, final and missed approach. The approach, non-radar, must begin at an IAF which must be depicted and is not on the OP's plates. The IAF and initial segment to to transition the aircraft from the enroute structure to the course reversal or intermediate segment. The lack of an IAF is a glaring error and the approach, under FAR 97, cannot be flown except in a radar environment. GF |

Ive been out of flying for 4 + yrs. and am trying to get refreshed by reading boards. |
